This volume provides a critical examination of the manner in which politics, government and political science is studied. It argues that current studies have become negligent and shapeless, caused by a steady weakening of the historical and philosophical structure of political study and research. The author outlines a reconstruction of the subject which separates it into two complementary sides of political study, pure and applied politics. Pure politics would be a philosophical and historical evaluation of political experience pursued for its own sake, while applied politics would encompass a descriptive, explanatory study of the practices of modern government, directed chiefly at vocational needs. Using this basis, the author feels that the study of politics would be placed on a stronger foundation: one idiom would be recognized as a branch of humanistic social and moral inquiry, and the other as primarily practical and technical.

Etat : Wie neu. 149 Seiten Very good copy. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). How should political life and organization be studied? In this book Johnson takes a critical look at what is offered at British universities as politics, political science, or government. He identifies two principal idioms of political study: politics as current affairs and the activity of politicians, and politics as political science, and concludes that political study as now conceived and practiced fails to provide the intellectual rigor called for in higher education. This study will be of interest to all students and scholars involved in the social sciences. ISBN 9780198273417 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 338 Gebundene Ausgabe mit Schutzumschlag.
